Entering the Saloon, a family owned restaurant since it opened in 1967 is a bit like stepping into Philadelphia's past. Dark oak paneling, shiny brass and authentic local antiques create a warm congenial and casual atmosphere. The choice of two comfortable dining rooms each with its own vintage bars make dining and conversation a relaxed and enjoyable experience. Both bars feature a delicious and moderately priced food menu. The menu is Italian with seafood specials such as grilled octopus and dover sole. Saloon steaks and veal chops are legendary. Many prefer a plate of fried long hot peppers to compliment the steaks. All desserts and gelatos are made on the premises daily. The Saloon is a Philadelphia neighborhood bar and restaurant with a national reputation. And the parking is FREE!

    The Saloon is one of my favorite restaurants. It can get noisy, but the food and service are fabulous. The servers and everyone who work there are very nice. It’s a large restaurant but has a close neighborhood feel.

    Delicious food with fantastic ambiance. Be sure to try the clams casino, veal stuffed poblano peppers, and the truffle steak filet. Out of this world! Great hospitality and service. We will be back often!

    The main floor seating area is very dark and very loud. We were seated near a staircase which was very distracting and at one point a queue formed to get up the stairs and someone bumped into my date. My pasta was so overcooked it was just mush under sauce. Maybe it is a different style of pasta than what I prefer but it was not my favorite. My date liked his meal. The free bread and pesto were delicious! And the service was exceptional. Too bad the pasta was disappointing, but maybe I ordered the wrong thing.
